SecureSync restores the configuration files to the factory settings, and then reboots in
order to read the new configuration files. Once powered back up, SecureSync will be
configured with the previously stored files.
Note: While the geographic GNSS position is stored and retained through
power cycles, choosing Clean (Restore Factory Configuration) will erase
the stored GNSS position.
Erasing the position stored in your GNSS receiver means that the next time the GNSS
antenna is connected and the GNSS receiver is able to continuously track at least four
satellites, a new GNSS survey will be initiated, so the position can be recalculated and
locked-in. A GNSS survey typically takes up to 33 minutes.
4.7.2 Backing-up and Restoring Configuration Files
Once SecureSync has been configured, it may be desired to back up the configuration files to
a PC for off-unit storage. If necessary in the future, the original configuration of the SecureSync
can then be restored into the same unit.
The capability to backup and restore configurations also adds the ability to “clone” multiple
SecureSync units with similar settings. Once one SecureSync unit has been configured as
desired, configurations that are not specific to each unit (such as NTP settings, log configs, etc.)
can be backed up and loaded onto another SecureSync unit for duplicate configurations.
There are several configuration files that are bundled in one file for ease of handling.
Note: For security reasons, configurations relating to security of the product, such
as SSH/SSL certificates, cannot be backed up to a PC.
4.7.2.1 Accessing the System Configuration Screen
The System Configuration Screen provides comprehensive information about hardware and
software status. To access the System Configuration screen:
